Medical BuyerNJ panel clears bill to regulate struggling hospitalsThe New Jersey Assembly Health Infrastructure Committee advanced a bill on Monday that would significantly expand the state health commissioner's authority to regulate and fine struggling hospitals, including raising penalties by nearly 50,000% from $25 to $12,500. The legislation was prompted by the March closure of Heights University Hospital in Jersey City, which the state alleges violated proper closure procedures. Hudson Regional Health, the hospital's owner which operates three other facilities in Hudson County, is currently in litigation with the state Department of Health over the closure, while the New Jersey Hospital Association has raised concerns that the bill is overly broad.Business Wire BlogJade Global and NJHA Join Forces to Provide AI-Led Digital Transformation and Enhance Patient CareJade Global and the New Jersey Hospital Association announced a partnership to deliver AI-led digital transformation solutions for hospitals. The collaboration covers revenue cycle management, data analytics, enterprise platforms, and managed services for NJHA's 400 members. The alliance aims to streamline patient access and improve efficiency amid fiscal challenges.PR NewswireStatement of Cathy Bennett, President and CEO, New Jersey Hospital AssociationCOVID-19 hospitalizations in New Jersey surged 47 percent in one week as of late December 2021, prompting hospitals across all regions of the state to adopt 'level red' visitation precautions that generally restrict visitors except under specific circumstances. The New Jersey Hospital Association, which issued the statement on behalf of the state's hospitals, emphasized that the restrictions aim to balance patient support needs with the priority of protecting patients, visitors, and healthcare workers from COVID transmission. The association also urged New Jersey residents to get vaccinated or boosted and continue following transmission precautions such as face masking and hand washing.PR NewswireCOVID's Uncounted Losses: Deaths at Home Increased in N.J. During PandemicA report by the New Jersey Hospital Association reveals that excess deaths in New Jersey during 2020 were significantly linked to delays in seeking medical care for conditions like heart attacks and strokes. The study found a 28 percent increase in at-home deaths compared to the previous three-year average, alongside a more than 16 percent decline in hospitalizations for emergent medical conditions.PR NewswireNJHA Analysis: Pre-Pandemic List of N.J.'s Most Vulnerable Zip Codes Foreshadowed Communities Hit Hardest by COVIDThe New Jersey Hospital Association released an analysis in November 2021 showing that their 2019 Vulnerable Communities Database, which identified the state's most at-risk zip codes based on social determinants of health, accurately predicted communities hit hardest by COVID-19. Seven of the original 10 most vulnerable zip codes experienced the highest per capita COVID-19 case rates during the pandemic, with four of those in Camden and others in Trenton, Newark, and Paterson. The database contains 20 health indicators including chronic conditions, food access, housing stability, and employment status, indexed across New Jersey's 537 zip codes.PR NewswireN.J. Hospital Visitation Restrictions Return as COVID SurgesRising COVID-19 activity driven by the Delta variant has prompted New Jersey hospitals to reinstate visitation restrictions, with the Southeast and Southwest regions moving to "level yellow" under a color-coded system developed by the New Jersey Hospital Association. Under level yellow, hospitalized patients may receive only one visitor at a time with masking and screening requirements, while visitors remain prohibited for COVID patients except under specific circumstances. State data shows a 7-day average increase of 271.6 percent in new cases and 168.5 percent in hospitalizations from mid-July to mid-August, with the Delta variant accounting for 96 percent of cases.PR NewswireStatement of Cathy Bennett, NJHA President and CEO, on the Importance of COVID-19 Booster ShotsThe New Jersey Hospital Association (NJHA) has welcomed the Biden Administration's updated advice regarding the necessity of COVID-19 booster shots based on recent research. The association confirmed its readiness to administer these third doses to eligible hospital staff, prioritizing healthcare workers who face high risks of exposure.PR NewswireOnce Hard-Hit, N.J. Hospitals Send Donations as India Confronts COVID SurgeNew Jersey hospitals, which received medical aid during their COVID-19 peak in 2020, are now sending donated equipment and supplies to India as it confronts an intense COVID outbreak that has claimed over 300,000 lives. The donation effort was coordinated by NJ Sen. Vin Gopal, the New Jersey Hospital Association, and the Vin Gopal Civic Association, with approximately 30 health systems contributing ventilators, oxygen concentrators, oxygen generators, IV pumps, pulse oximeters, and PPE. The shipments are being facilitated through transport companies including Air India.PR NewswireNJHA Mandates COVID-19 Vaccination for Team MembersThe New Jersey Hospital Association, the state's largest healthcare trade association, announced it will mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for its 130 employees, requiring full vaccination by July 21, 2021 with medical or religious exemptions. NJHA President and CEO Cathy Bennett stated the mandate aligns their public messaging about vaccine importance with internal actions and expressed hope it would encourage other organizations to adopt similar policies.
